Chapter 504 Another Slap To The Face

Kelly returned to the Pearsons and found herself crying in the living room.

Lawrence came downstairs and saw her in such misery. He immediately approached and asked,

“What’s wrong, darling?”

“Did you and everyone else know that Sean’s ex-wife is Abigail? And you didn’t tell me?” Kelly, with

swollen eyes, asked Lawrence.

Lawrence sat down beside her and was about to explain, but he noticed that her cheeks were also

swollen. Therefore, he immediately asked, “Who hit you?”

Kelly sobbed. “I went to have dinner with Sean. When Abigail saw us there, she deliberately brought

along a few men to join her, and she was chatting and laughing with them. It’s my fault for not knowing

that he still had feelings for his ex-wife!” Kelly sobbed while leaning on Scarlett’s shoulder, her tears

flowing incessantly.

“I think they’re intentionally trying to embarra*s you!” Lawrence growled.

Kelly questioned, “Why did they hide it from me? If Sean had told me that his ex-wife was Abigail, I

wouldn’t have brought up the engagement. They both kept it from me and made me suffer…”

“We’ve all warned you not to fall for Sean. He has also said he won’t wouldn’t listen!” he said with

frustration.

marry you, but you

At this point, Kelly felt extremely wronged. “But why did Abigail hide the fact that she was. married to

Sean? She did it on purpose! She knew he wouldn’t like me, and she knew he had feelings for her. So,

even if she didn’t say anything, she would still be the winner and would be able to laugh at my

expense!”

Scarlett, who had her heart set on Kelly, got angry upon hearing Kelly’s words. “She’s always.

portraying herself as the victim, and now she’s teaming up with Sean to humiliate you. I will not let her

get away with it!”

Lawrence looked at her and said, “Let’s go to her.”

Upon hearing this, Kelly immediately looked up and said, “Sean will get angry if you go looking for her

without warning.”

“He already hit you, and you’re still thinking about him? Kelly, there are so many good men out there;

you don’t have to invest all your emotions in him!” Scarlett held her hand and earnestly advised.

Meanwhile, she sniffled and said, “But I like him. It was my fault for saying the wrong things

tonight. I shouldn’t have insulted Abigail-”

“What’s wrong with insulting her? They were the ones who bullied you in the first place!” Lawrence

retorted.

Kelly remained silent, her eyes teary.

“I’ll go find her with your mother,” he said while suppressing his anger.

She was about to say something, but Lawrence added, “Take care of Kelly.”

With that, he grabbed Scarlett and left.

Abigail was reviewing contracts in her office. Her a*sistant didn’t have a chance to notify her, and the

office door was pushed open.

Meanwhile, Analise was watching TV shows on another computer in the office. She hadn’t noticed the

Pearson couple coming in as she was hard of hearing.

Abigail guessed that it was about Kelly being slapped. She got up and walked toward them.

Scarlett, full of anger, walked up to Abigail and slapped her hard on the face.

Abigail stood still with her face turned to the side. She raised her hand to touch her cheek and said with

a stern look in he

eyes, “Since you like to protect Kelly, why don’t you let her come herself?”

As soon as she finished speaking, Analise stepped in front of her.

The elderly woman held a broom in her hand and fiercely swept it toward Scarlett’s legs.

“Get out of here! Get lost!” she yelled angrily while sweeping at Scarlett.

Lawrence grabbed the broom handle, and his eyes were filled with cold determination.

“I dare you to do that one more time!” His eyes were terrifying, and his whole aura was incredibly

intimidating.

Abigail looked at him as if she were looking at an enraged young wolf. “What? Are you going to lay a

hand on my grandmother?”

“I don’t have respect for the elderly or love for the young here. Abigail, I’m giving you only one choice-

take L. Moon back to Pendorf and never come to Capitalis again. Otherwise, I’ll make sure you never

build L. Moon up again!” Lawrence growled as he pushed Analise aside.

Analise bumped into Abigail, and she looked at Lawrence, then back at Scarlett, who was full of

disgust. Her heart turned cold.

Her biological parents hit her and told her to leave Capitalis…

Analise’s eyes turned red all of a sudden. She turned and grabbed Abigail’s hand while crying, “Abigail,

you’re really unlucky…”

“Grandma, I’m fine. I won’t leave even if they asked me to,” Abigail said coldly while looking at

Lawrence and Scarlett. “I’ve already made copies of the surveillance footage from the parking lot. I

can’t wait to see whether the public will stand with the Pearsons or L.Moon when the time comes.”

She couldn’t take on the Pearsons by herself, but what if she had the support of L.Moon and Fairy

Meadow’s fans?

Since Kelly liked to play dirty, Abigail didn’t need to be so concerned about morals anymore.

“Do you think you can play the public opinion game against us? Abigail, L.Moon has only been in the

business for a few years. Do you understand what real marketing is and what a real public opinion

battle is?” Lawrence looked at Abigail with a gaze as if he were looking at

an ant.
